Former UFC belt challenger and current commentator for North American ESPN, Sonnen stated that he did not see Conor McGregor do enough to deserve a fourth fight during the five minutes he was in the Octagon at UFC 264.

“There was nothing within those five minutes that was competitive. Back in the day you could count on McGregor, and by the way, I'm not kicking a dead dog, I'm just discussing what I saw. You could count on Conor in the stand-up part of the fight and he was a very difficult guy to take down and keep on the ground. You can't count on these things anymore. He's not winning any portion of these fights. And I don’t say that to make him feel bad, I say that to show that there is no need, at least from a competitive point of view, to schedule this fight again”, analyzed Sonnen in conversation with fellow commentator Max Kellerman on ESPN.
